Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

354: Phantom Scripture, hands-onThree rounds of drinks later, everyone was happy!

The wedding banquet concluded perfectly, with various Cultivators either bidding farewell or lining up to try the Cultivation rooms. The reputation of Spirit Pearls in the South Sea Cultivation World was not small; some lucky Cultivators could even obtain some, and there were even Cultivators who raised Spirit Clams.

However, there were none available for everyone to Cultivate with.

The entire Lin Family Restaurant still seemed a bit lively.

Furthermore, most of the Cultivators who left the restaurant also began heading towards the Lin Family Pill Pavilion and Lin Family Artifact Workshop. Whether it was to customize Magical Artifacts or to introduce customers to receive treasures, it also attracted many Cultivators.

Meanwhile, the Cheng Family cultivator and Duan Family Cultivator at the entrance looked troubled. The two exchanged a glance, then stood up, preparing to leave.

They still occasionally glanced at Lin Shijie, somewhat worried.

A Late Foundation Establishment Stage Sword Cultivator was not someone they could contend with.

”Sirs, Daoist has a request!” Just as the two stood up, Lin Shijie spoke.

Their hearts turned to ash once more. As expected, the Lin Family had a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

And their respective Family Heads had asked them to deliver such Magical Artifacts.

Although the two were reluctant, they knew that this was the Tianxiang Island market. Even if the Lin Family had a Purple Mansion Cultivator, they would still have to consider Purple Jade Sanren.

The two followed Lin Shijie to the third floor of the Lin Family Restaurant. As the door opened, revealing a meeting hall, Lin Shiming sat in the center of the hall, drinking spirit tea. Beside the spirit tea, Ye Changfeng was also present.

”Cheng Jiannan of the Cheng Family and Duan Zhiyun of the Duan Family greet Daoist!”

At this moment, seeing Lin Shiming conversing and laughing, Ye Changfeng could only take a subordinate position, bowing respectfully. Recalling Loose Immortal Luo Yun’s actions, the identity of the person before them was self-evident!

”You two families are truly bold!” Lin Shiming raised his head to look at Cheng Jiannan and Duan Zhiyun.

A short sentence, yet it made the two as silent as cicadas in winter.

”Reporting to Daoist, these treasures were all requested by Loose Immortal Luo Yun of the Ziyu Sect. Our two families naturally wouldn’t dare to offend a superior!” The two immediately knelt repeatedly.

Facing a Purple Mansion Family, their Foundation Establishment Families were no match. Unless Purple Jade Sanren appeared at this moment to forcefully suppress Lin Shiming, otherwise, for their families, being neutral and waiting for the two great Purple Mansion forces to decide the victor was when they would make their decision.

If the Lin Family were in this position, they would do the same. The unwise actions of the Duan Family and Cheng Family were, firstly, for the Ye Family’s Cultivation Technique, and secondly, due to being suppressed by the Ziyu Sect for a long time, their morale had long been worn down, and they had not expected the true strength of the Lin Family.

”The might of a Daoist cannot be insulted. Today is a wedding, so I will not kill you. Within one month, gather fifteen types of Third Rank spirit wine and three types of Fourth Rank spirit wine!”

”You know the consequences of not seeing the spirit wine!” Lin Shiming pressed his finger down, fully revealing his Purple Mansion Aura, pressing down on the two. They immediately felt a terrifying Spiritual Pressure descend.

The two instantly prostrated themselves on the ground. At this moment, they finally understood why Loose Immortal Luo Yun’s chair was crushed with just one move.

The Cultivator before them, although only at the Early Violet Palace Stage cultivation, his strength was absolutely far more terrifying than an Early Violet Palace Stage!

Their hearts were greatly alarmed.

At the same time, there was a bitter taste. Third Rank spirit wine was easier to find, but Fourth Rank spirit wine, for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, was not a simple matter. The entire Tianxiang Island only had one type of Fourth Rank spirit wine in the Ziyu Pavilion of the Ziyu Sect, and it only entertained Purple Mansion Cultivators!

But precisely because of this, the two did not dare to refuse.

”Scram!” Lin Shiming waved his sleeve, and the pressure of the Purple Mansion Cultivator suddenly vanished.

The two immediately kowtowed and fled.

Ye Changfeng, watching from the side, also felt a sense of despair in his heart.

At first, he thought Lin Shiming had called him for a tea session between in-laws. Now, it seemed, it was a warning.

”Family Head Ye, our Lin Family and Ye Family are cooperating, but I haven’t heard that your Ye Family has also offended the Ziyu Sect!”

”At the wedding today, Loose Immortal Luo Yun appeared and almost ruined our Lin Family’s wedding!” Lin Shiming turned his head and finally spoke.

”Our Lin Family only wants a place on Tianxiang Island; we never thought of clashing with the Ziyu Sect!” Lin Shiming shook his head.

Ye Changfeng saw the blame in Lin Shiming’s words, but no anger. As an old Cultivator who had been a Family Head for countless years, if he still couldn’t understand Lin Shiming’s meaning, he wouldn’t need to be the Family Head.

”Senior Lin, this matter was indeed an oversight on the Ye Family’s part. We never expected that a non-Rank, non-attribute Cultivation Technique of the Ye Family could also attract the Ziyu Sect’s covetousness!” Ye Changfeng calmly took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Lin Shiming.

It was as if it truly was just a non-Rank Cultivation Technique.

”Additionally, I ask Senior Lin, for the sake of our three hundred years of friendship, to help our Ye Family!” Ye Changfeng gritted his teeth, once again emphasizing their three hundred years of friendship.

”The Ye Family was also the owner of Tianxiang Island a thousand years ago. Even after falling to a Foundation Establishment Family, we have always been diligent, fulfilling our duties as a Foundation Establishment Family. Now, the Ziyu Sect is becoming increasingly aggressive, even wanting to exterminate the Ye Family!”

”I hope Senior Lin will uphold justice for the Ye Family. The Ye Family is willing to be a subsidiary force of the Lin Family and offer tribute!”

”And I also wish for a highly respected and powerful Cultivator like Senior Lin to take charge of Tianxiang Island!” Ye Changfeng spoke with extreme sincerity.

For the Ye Family, the Lin Family might stay on Tianxiang Island as the second most powerful authority, but the Ye Family would definitely be the first to die.

They could only survive by pushing the Lin Family to become the rulers of Tianxiang Island.

”Oh?” Lin Shiming did not nod, and of course, it was impossible to nod now.

”Reporting to Senior Lin, the Ziyu Sect now controls a Teleportation Array, one Mysterious Grade Secret Realm, two Yellow Grade Secret Realms, and three Spirit Stone Mines...”

Ye Changfeng began to enumerate them one by one. To demonstrate authenticity, he even took out a Jade Slip, recorded everything, and presented it to Lin Shiming.

”You think I can contend against the Coral Alliance?”

”Reporting to Senior Lin, the Immortal Master behind the Ziyu Sect is Real Person Xuri of Rising Sun Island, one of the twelve inner islands. For those Immortal Masters, who controls the seventy-two outer islands is not important. What is important is having the strength to maintain the stability of the outer islands and ensuring tribute!”

”Additionally, Real Person Xuri has been refining a set of Lifebound Treasure for nearly a hundred years, requiring countless Fourth Rank Artifact Refiners to help refine parts of the Magical Artifact. Loose Immortal Luo Yun is one such Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner!” Ye Changfeng continued to speak.

This information truly satisfied Lin Shiming.

The Ye Family was indeed worthy of being a thousand-year-old Family, knowing many secrets.

And the System’s prompt did not sound, indicating that Ye Changfeng’s words were true.

As Lin Shiming nodded, Ye Changfeng truly relaxed.

Lin Shiming not immediately agreeing meant that he wasn’t acting on a whim, but had been planning for a long time.

And not being slow to agree, demanding this and that, indicated confidence in his strength.

After all, the treasures of Tianxiang Island were here. Whoever became the Island Master of Tianxiang Island, these treasures and Secret Realms would naturally become theirs.

”Does your Ye Family have any Buddhist Magical Artifacts?” Lin Shiming asked again.

Ye Changfeng shook his head.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming once again picked up his teacup and began to drink tea.

Ye Changfeng also clasped his hands and took his leave.

Although Lin Shiming appeared as a young Cultivator, Ye Changfeng would not assume that Lin Shiming’s age was truly so young. One must know that Purple Mansion Cultivators have a lifespan of five hundred years!

In his opinion, Lin Shiming was probably several times his age.

After Ye Changfeng left, Lin Shiming also took out the first Jade Slip Ye Changfeng had given him.

He couldn’t help but smile.

This Jade Slip was precisely the Cultivation Technique his Soul Suppressing Tower had detected: the Illusory Spirit True Scripture.

A Low Grade Earth Rank Cultivation Technique that could be Cultivated to the Early Stage Golden Core.

The Illusory Spirit True Scripture did not have obvious Spiritual Root requirements, and its Cultivation speed was extremely fast. However, its combat strength varied, depending on the person. Those with illusionary talent could unleash it to kill invisibly!

Those without talent would have their techniques broken by their opponents in two or three breaths, and could only flee in a hurry.

However, this Cultivation Technique reminded him of the Lin Family’s Five Elements Illusory Heart Stone. If Cultivated together, the progress speed would probably increase by a large margin.

Putting away the Cultivation Technique Jade Slip also meant that the Lin Family now had another Earth Rank Cultivation Technique.

And next, it was truly time to plan for Tianxiang Island.

Originally, the Lin Family didn’t want to act so early, but from the actions of Purple Jade Sanren and Loose Immortal Luo Yun, it was clear that they had been alerted long ago.

Lin Shiming decided to act early also because he was worried that Purple Jade Sanren might summon other Purple Mansion friends.

Purple Jade Sanren’s strength was still unknown.

However, Real Person Xuri needed a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner, and he had a good recommendation: Nine Heavens Hermit.

As long as the Lin Family set up a new Teleportation Array on Shuangmu Island, offered spirit wine, and had Lin Houwei become his disciple, Nine Heavens Hermit would become a Lin Family worship (senior advisor), and Real Person Xuri’s Artifact Refining requirements could naturally be resolved.

Furthermore, the secrets on Purple Jade Sanren’s body were even of interest to the Immortal Masters of the Coral Alliance, which meant Real Person Xuri would also be interested.

After pondering for a while, Lin Shiming closed his eyes and drank the spirit tea from the teapot. Next, he would wait for the Auction to bid on that Buddhist Magical Artifact... In the Duan Family Ancestral Hall, the Duan Family’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Cheng Family’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered.

The two Family Heads looked at each other in dismay!

Cheng Jiannan and Duan Zhiyun kept their heads down. The current situation was truly a bolt from the blue for their two families.

They had thought they could get promoted by the Ziyu Sect, kick out the Ye Family, and divide the territory, but they never expected to not get the Cultivation Technique and instead provoke a Purple Mansion Family.

Now they even had to produce three types of Fourth Rank spirit wine!

”Can Purple Jade Sanren be contacted?”

”Can’t contact him. Loose Immortal Luo Yun and Purple Jade Sanren are both in seclusion!”

Hearing this, the two families sighed again.

”Prepare the spirit wine. Buy it from other sea regions. Even if it costs a fortune, we must buy it. Afterwards, when Purple Jade Sanren comes out of seclusion, we will take it back from the Lin Family!” The Duan Family Head gritted his teeth and spoke.

”Additionally, also prepare the Family’s branch lines!” After speaking, he slumped into his chair...

With the end of the wedding, the Lin Family also became thoroughly renowned on Tianxiang Island.

Now, most Cultivators knew of the existence of the Hidden Family.

Even if they didn’t know, the Lin Family secretly had people spread the word.

By the time even the First Level Qi Condensation Loose Cultivators on Tianxiang Island believed the Lin Family was a Hidden Family, even if it wasn’t, it would be.

Coupled with the Lin Family’s custom Artifact Refining, custom Alchemy, and Cultivation rooms, the Lin Family’s reputation soared.

During the Auction’s grand competition, the Duan Family and Cheng Family symbolically sent people to participate, and Lin Shiyi also won first place.

However, Purple Jade Sanren and Loose Immortal Luo Yun still did not appear, which also somewhat disappointed Lin Shiming. The longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for the current Lin Family.

The Auction competition ended, followed by the Auction. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ Auction allowed many of the Lin Family’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators to buy many treasures, bidding enthusiastically.

As for Lin Shiming, after bidding on a string of Buddhist prayer beads, he was also preparing to return to Shuangmu Island.

The spirit boat rose from the Tianxiang Island dock and headed towards the distant sea!

”Please be careful not to be trapped by the Seven Star Divine Elephant Array, and even more careful of sneak attacks from Purple Jade Sanren and Loose Immortal Luo Yun!”

Lin Shiming’s eyes lit up!

It’s here!

This island-protecting grand array, most likely, had its greatest power between the Sub-island and the main island!

Boom!

Almost at the same instant, six Sub-islands emitted terrifying pillars of light, rushing into the clouds.

And above Tianxiang Island, an elephant’s trumpeting suddenly rang out.

It echoed through the clouds!

A seven-colored divine elephant manifested from heaven and earth, shooting seven divine lights towards Lin Shiming.

The divine lights, like Lin Shitao’s five-colored ribbon, coiled towards Lin Shiming.

The speed was incredibly fast!

However, Lin Shiming, who was already prepared, sacrificed the Han Ming Shield in his hand, transforming it into a giant ice shield, blocking all the seven-colored divine lights. And the divine lights even began to freeze!

Boom!

Although the divine lights froze, the seven-colored divine elephant swung its hooves, raised its tusks, and slammed into him fiercely.

It also released new seven-colored divine lights from its mouth.

Lin Shiming also swung his twin swords, releasing the Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent, instantly severing the seven-colored divine elephant’s head.

But in the blink of an eye, the head transformed into Spirit Light and reappeared on the divine elephant’s head, continuing to disappoint seven-colored divine lights at Lin Shiming, and continuing its brutal charge!

Lin Shiming was not feeling well either, his chest heaving. The divine elephant’s immense strength was truly too terrifying!

Just in that instant, it felt as if seven iron mountains, each weighing a hundred thousand jun, had crashed into him.

Boom!

With another sword strike, Lin Shiming’s body lost strength again and flew backward. As he flew backward, he saw a female Cultivator, veiled with light gauze, appear behind him at some unknown moment.

Three silver needle Magical Artifacts in her hand shot fiercely towards the back of Lin Shiming’s head!

Not only that, above Lin Shiming, a Dragon claw also fiercely grabbed towards him!

Lin Shiming was stunned. He could guarantee he wasn’t mistaken; it was definitely a Flood Dragon’s Dragon claw!

Purple Jade Sanren was a half-Flood Dragon!

Lin Shiming had completely not expected this at this moment. Although he didn’t know if it was a secret technique, he indeed felt an Aura similar to a nascent Flood Dragon on Purple Jade Sanren’s body!

No wonder Purple Jade Sanren didn’t show herself on Tianxiang Island!

Perhaps due to her half-Flood Dragon identity, she simply couldn’t show herself!

And as far as he knew, this method of half-Flood Dragons was a secret technique unique to Nine Dragon Island. This Purple Jade Sanren was clearly an informant for Nine Dragon Island!

While contemplating, Lin Shiming also leaped with the Leaping Void Disc to the side!

Dodging the pincer attack of the two!

And appeared behind Loose Immortal Luo Yun, swinging the Taiyi Sword Grass in his hand!

Directly unleashing a single strike of Calamity Transformation, the boundless Sword Intent of grass poured towards Loose Immortal Luo Yun!

”How could this be!” Loose Immortal Luo Yun and Purple Jade Sanren clearly hadn’t expected Lin Shiming to be able to teleport, and were instead outflanked by Lin Shiming!

Loose Immortal Luo Yun felt the unparalleled attack power and gritted her teeth, taking out two Spirit Talismans. At the same time, her hands also began to transform into Flood Dragon claws, resisting the attack head-on.

Boom!

The two Spirit Talismans were Medium Grade Fourth Rank defensive Spirit Talismans, instantly sliced into fragments. Loose Immortal Luo Yun was also not well; her hands, covered in Flood Dragon scales, shed large handfuls of scales!

And fresh red blood dripped down.

”You deserve to die!” Loose Immortal Luo Yun’s voice also changed.
